. The following notice has been sent out
by the Superintendent Of Public Instruc-
tiOn: & -.
The teachers and Trustees OF nearly
every School District in this Territory
have shown an utter disregard Of tho
School Law. They have failed to make
the requisite and necessary reports to
County School Superintendent, thus se.
riously interfering with the business Of
this Office.
There are now: and hare been for some
time, several thousand dollars lying idle
in the Territorial School Fund, which I
am unable to apportion, as / have not the
data upon which TO base apportionments.
I therefore request Of County School
superintendents that they refuse 10 draw
any warrants upon the County Treasurer
for teachers salaries, or any other ex-
penses Of the School Districts in their
county, until the law las been strictly
complied with by all school officers and
teachers under their control.
I respectfully invite correspondence
from any and all persons interested in
our public schools.

Supt. of Public instruction.

A serious cave in the vulture mine, in
Maricopa county, occurred Monday after.
noon, burying Mexican named Alejan-
dro vansuelta. D. M. McAllister and A..
Kirkpatrick, two miners who were with
him at the moment, escaped death by
running. The body Of the dead man has
not been recovered.
The receipts Of the Recorders ofiice
yesterday were thirty-hve dollars, Of
which the Mohave Mining and Milling
Corporation paid in $32. This company
now owns twelve Of the best mining
locations in the Gold Basin District, be-
sides some valuable springs Of water in
the vicinity. On most Of these claims .
large amount Of development work has
been done; enough TO demonstrate not
only that they are mining claims, but
valuable mines.
The editor expects to resign his posi-.
ton as Clerk of the Board Of Supervisors
In the not far distant future, In order to
devote his whole time and attention TO
his law practice. which is becoming quite
extensive. II there are any would.be
candidates for the Office he advises them
to quit right now, as the work under the
new "kode" requires one mans whole
time and attention, and is worth at least
two thousand dollars a year, instead Of
the paltry FIVE hundred now paid. II you
don't believe it, ask Caldwell Wright.
The Masonic fraternity at Flagstaff will
next month organize lodge U. D., with
Rev. n. L. Guthrie, formerly Of this
place, as Worshipful Master. This will
make the seventh Lodge in the Territory,
and will only leave the counties Of Yuma,
Graham and Mohave unrepresented in
this ancient and honorable fraternity.
The Grand Lodge will meet at Tomb
stone OH the 9Th Of next November. II
reasonable railroad rates can be procured
a large delegation from the northern part
Of the Territory will attend, and II is
hoped that the next session will be held
in the halls Of Aztlan Lodge, the mother
lodge OF Arizona. na.--Journal-M Miner.

ALBUQUERQUE. N. NJ, May loving to
he telegraph embargo the particulars of the
disastrous wreck of Wednesday on the At
iantic d Pacific railroad, forty miles east of
Oaggett station, has just reached
lere: The east bound passenger train,
shich was three hours behind
IN hour ran into an aroya, the bridge hav.
ing been burned, leaving the rails in places.
The engine passed over but the jar threw the
fireman out of tho cab. The tender went
through into q shallow aroya, FORM
ing q barric de against which
he other cars ran with terrific
force. The mail car turned completely
around, and was standing across the track.
The baggage and express cars were thrown
twenty feet from the track to the right and
turned over. The two passenger cars
we're derailed, but the two
Pullman cars remained on the
track. A scene of frightful CONSERVATION
ensued, no one believing the passengers in
the overturned cars would escape death.
The fireman, Charles Smith, was picked up
iured and internal injuries. He is not ex-
pected to recover. Among the
injured passengers extracted from the
wrecked cars are: Mr.. Snyder,
Of Walla Walls, w. T., terrible scalp wound;
Henry q. Hanson, cut and bruised about the
head; Ed Thornton, confused head; A. 8.
Eles, broken leg; Len Beard, leg smashed,

No Volcanic Eruptions.

A1BuouxRou1, N. NJ, May 9.-The Demo
Gratis Benson, Ariz., special says: All other
reports to the contrary, notwithstanding
no volcanic eruptions have occurred IN
Southern Arizona. On the Sd, gimultan.
seusly with tho severe earthquake shocks e1.
perienced here, great clouds Of smoke ap-
peared over the peaks of the MILESTONE
mountains, south of this point, and at
night the horizon was brilliantly illu-
minated by what was supposed to
be volcanic fires, but the phenomenon
continued during several days following the
earthquake, and on tho 9th instant an OK
ploring party, under the leadership Of Gen.
eral Forsyth, commanding Fort Huachuaca,
started for th, MILESTONE mountains for the
purpose of investigating the eruptione. They
returned the 7th, and reported that there
were no volcanic eruptions, though signs Of
an upheaval and mountain slides from
Thursdays earthquake were abundantly Wis
ible, and that the brilliant illumination of sky
and clouds of smoke which lowered over the
mountain peaks were caused by T. rest fires.
which they had traced to the carelessness of
some Mexican campers who had camped on
the mountain Monday night. This report
effectually explodes the volcanic sensation
among the people of Benson. Another So
we're shock Of earthquake was experienced
here at LAB this afternoon. No damage was
done but it created CONSERVATION among the
people.

FROM THEIR GRAVE.

A Message From the Buried Minors.
NKw York, May "a special from Nam
alma to the Herald, dated yesterday, says:
Thirty-five bodies were found to-day. Up to
noon sixteen whits men have been brought
to tho surface. More bodies are coming. A
shovel was found on which was written in
chalk:
Thirteen hours and now dying in misery.
JOHN EVANS"
This was young fellow % years Of age.
Thus the n.en were evidently conscious thir-
teen hours after the explosion and some
may have survived five or six hours longer.
They were all found on one level. They had
como a. far as half way to the switch and
had found the cave-in and the air bad. They
then set to work with picks and shovels and
barricaded the passage to shut out the after
damp. They returned to the air shaft where
the fire damp had caught them, and all sue
cumbed. They had tried to barricade this
passage also but did not succeed very we'll.
The poor fellows had made q desper-
ate struggle for life. The fire IL now
nearly under control, and it is hoped that
all the bodies will be recovered within the
next few days. No more viii likely be dis
covered to-day. Nothing has been seen on
the streets to-day but people moving rest
lessly back and forth between the mine and
tho town, all kinds Of Wagons bearing linen
wrapped corpses 10 their late homes, or fu-
neral professions, vending their way to the
cemetery.

For Attempted Assault.

New YORK. May "a special from Tar
boro, to the Herald says: Much excitement
prevails in this section over the lynching al
this place Saturday night, the first in the
history of the county. Ben Hart, a negro
10 years old, was arrested for attempted
criminal assault, on April n, on is year
old white girl, in which great brutality was
displayed. The feeling against him ran 80
high that Judge Ship, holding court,
ordered him taken to Williamstown for safe
keeping. Time and distance only served to
in1lame the people, and Saturday night the
engineer on the material train lying over at
Rocky Mount, seventeen miles from here,
was compelled BY sixty armed and masked
men to take his engine and two coaches and
convey the party over to Williamstovn.
There some of the party surrounded the
sheriff's residence to prevent any communi-
cations, while the remainder broke into the
jail. Three dragged forth Hart. He was
then Brought back to near the scene Of his
crime and hanged TO q tree.

cision this morning. They say the COM

ruary last they held In this same case that
the shipments Of coal from Cleveland
to Glenwood, lbs miles, and to Council
Bluffs, 157 miles, were under like oondi-
tions and circumstances, except distance;
that $50 per ton for the short distance
against Sl.20 for the longer distance was
excessive and unjust discrimination, and
they recommended revision of tho tariff
rates to conform to the provisions Of the In
terStato commerce law. Tho ROAD advances
it's Council Bluffs rate to $190. A rehearine

oession is made at competing points. From
all sources of information possible they de-
eide that for class A roads proper terminal
charge il 30 cents ton; that an additional
reasonable rate up 70 100 miles distance
should be 9 mills per ton Per mile; to 200
miles, mills; to 800 miles, 6 mills; 70 400
miles, mills per ton. The rate from Oleve-

cision Of tho commission il unanimous.
